When I was still in Grade School there wasn't really much of any bullying going on that I saw. I mean sure ridicule is there and fights happen, but incessant physical or emotional abuse of someone seemed pretty rare. I think that bullying now-a-days persists throughout the adult world, as a majority. Also, being physically inept has became a redundancy and many people will be jerks regardless. When you add that kind of confidence and supply a mostly anonymous mask of the Internet, people become super jerks. This is a pretty obvious outcome in my opinion. Yet if we continue to progress on strict rules for forum, social, and gaming platforms, the accountability will far outweigh the satisfaction that people get from doing these things.

In highschool I was a bit of an oddball. I was friends with (nearly all) of the jocks and a good amount of the nerds. I'm no jock, never once played a sport back in highschool, and I'm a big otaku as well as a gamer (even attending college to study graphic design and animation) but somehow i befreinded the jocks (they were closer freinds to me then the nerds) and to be honest I was never bullied throughout my entire school life. :P I guess I was one of the lucky few. Maybe it was my in your face attitude (I wouldnt tolerate any crap from anyone, theyd get some right back in thier faces) Maybe my school was just different but, whenever (most of) my friends (the jocks) would pick on someone, and that someone would stand up for themselves and return the favor, my friends would actually praise the kid and tell him good job or somthing. (to any jocks or bullies out there) Honestly it was easy to tell that taking that stand when the nerds or geeks stand up to u, made u look a WHOLE LOT better then lowering yourself to getting physical with them when they piss you off. People really respect a person who can respect another. I never bullied anyone (im not a big guy, really average I'd say) except back in second grade when I picked on the only asian kid at my school. Me and my friends thought he had the funniest accent in the world so we'd always make jokes. I never hit him or stole his money or anything but the verbal abuse was abundant. I can say now it was immature and if i had the pleasure of meeting the guy now I'd apologize.

I never seem to have a problem with this while playing MAG. The community is very concentrated on working together and I don't think I've ever heard anyone yell at or insult each other. Maybe if games inspired more teamwork instead of the standard run shoot die formula then players would be forced to not bash eachother.

Great episode Adam, very inspiring. It's a shame to see so many online communities go down the drain because of cyber bullies/jerks. Some people really abuse the "veil of anonymity" that the internet provides and it's really something we need to put a stop to.

I've been following G4 since it started, but I haven't made an account on here yet because I never felt like I needed to comment. But you really spoke to my heart with this one Ses. You gave me hope for the future and really helped me with this. I just wanted to know how much this meant to me. Thank you so much, you've always been my favorite journalist. I just wanted to give my heartffelt thanks to you and let you know you made a difference for me.
